Philippe Coutinho wants Salah at Camp Nou – Report

A Spanish report recently claimed that Mohamed Salah’s former teammate and current Barcelona player Philippe Coutinho encouraged his club to sign the Egyptian winger.

Salah has been the talk of a lot of interest from the likes of Real Madrid and Bayern Munich who are both looking to find long-term replacements for aging and injury prone forwards such as Benzema, Bale, Ribery and Robben.

Other reports also pointed to interest from Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain. Now, according to Don Balon, a Spanish weekly sports magazine, Philippe Coutinho had a talk with Barcelona’s executives and asked them to sign his former teammate instead of Atletico Madrid forward Antoine Griezmann.

On the other side, Liverpool are reportedly preparing a new offer for their new hero to fight interest from other clubs.

Don Balon also claimed that former Liverpool striker Luis Suarez agrees with Coutinho’s demand to start talks with Salah who has been compared to Barca’s legendary Argentinian player Lionel Messi a number of times.

The Egyptian international has been in superb form for Liverpool, scoring 28 Premier League goals and is currently leading the race for Golden Boot award, four goals away from second-placed Harry Kane.
